I want to protect my family, but you force me to take the lead

"Xueyan? Why are you here?"

"Someone from the team stationed at Shanghe Village at dawn has gone missing. I came to Luosha for something."

"what?!"

The snow fox and snow leopard looked at the expressionless snow swallow at the same time.

Xueyan nodded, "The director was worried that something might happen here again, so he sent us here. Xueying and the others are in Shanghe Village, where is Luosha?"

"Rakshasa and Snow Wolf went into the mountains."

"Let's go find Rakshasa first."

"it is good."

Half an hour later, the group reunited.

"Xueyan, you said that the team that arrived at Shanghe Village at dawn today was missing two people?"

Xueyan said solemnly, "Yes. They set out an hour later than the Special Team, and the journey was quite far, so they only arrived at dawn today."

"We arrived this morning. We heard about this incident when we got there. We asked around and searched for clues. After we locked onto the suspicious direction, Xueying and the others stayed behind to help, and I rushed over."

"You arrived just in time."

When she saw Xueyan, Qin Nuan's tense face obviously relaxed.

"Rakshasa, the director said that until things here are resolved, neither the Hokage Squad nor the Falcon Squad will be transferred back to Kyoto. Also, this is a letter from Mr. Feng and General Xu to you." As he spoke, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Qin Nuan.

Qin Nuan took the letter and opened it quickly. Her tense face suddenly turned gloomy. She said in a deep voice, "I'm going to be away for a while. It will take at least a month, or at most three months. Snow Fox, you guys should be alert here. Let Xueying and the others keep an eye on the things in Shanghe Village. Xueyan, we'll leave in an hour."

"Yes."

"Xuebao, go inform Zhang Damao and Qin Yu, and follow me to the northwest in an hour."

"Yes."

after an hour.

Qin Nuan took the snow fox Zhang Damao and Qin Yu out of Qinjia Village and headed straight for the train station.

Five days later in the evening, the four got off the train and went into a guesthouse near the train station.

After some inspection, the four of them sat together.

"Arrange the tasks"

Qin Nuan nodded and said seriously, "The higher-ups asked us to investigate Xijing Wharf, which is more than 200 miles away from here. Starting from this wharf, we need to investigate the surrounding area within 5 kilometers."

"I'm not sure about the specific reason, I just know it's related to the Kyoto military exercise in a month."

Hearing that it was related to the military exercise, the three of them stood ready and whispered, "Make sure to complete the mission!"

"We'll take a day off today, and tomorrow we'll each form our own group. I'll go to that dock, and you can discuss other places on your own."

"Yes."

After the three of them left, Qin Nuan stood by the window with her hands behind her back, looking at the houses, her brows furrowed even more...

The next morning, the four people checked out of the hotel and headed straight to Xiyuan Town.

Xijing Wharf is just to the west of Xiyuan Town.

Due to various reasons, the pier has been back in use for less than a year.

Although there are not many ships coming and going, there are many warehouses at the dock.

More than half a month ago, a message came back from the Tenth Department: sabotage of military exercises!

The moment they received the news, several senior officials of Xia State immediately held a meeting.

After the meeting, a batch of transfer procedures were issued.

Because of this news, three people from the Tenth Department sacrificed their lives, and two were seriously injured and unconscious.

Even so, they have not fully confirmed the accuracy of the news.

But the spearhead is directed at domestic ports, especially the Xijing Port in the northwest.

There is only more than a month left before the military exercise, and they must control those people before the exercise begins, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

Even some senior officials thought of a possibility: beheading!

It was because of this possibility that the Hokage Squad and the Falcon Squad were sent out, and Qin Nuan was asked to lead people to secretly investigate the Xijing Wharf.

Standing at the Xijing Wharf, Qin Nuan's cold eyes swept over the people carrying goods coming and going, but she didn't show any anxiety in her heart.

She had already sorted out the pros and cons of the matter in her mind.

I feel like the boss’ chessboard is a bit big this time.

The Hokage team and the Falcon team leaving the capital at the same time would definitely attract the attention of those people, plus the sudden job transfer...

Ha ha……

As soon as she arrived in Xiyuan Town, Qin Nuan received a piece of news that surprised her: the system's scanning function was undergoing an upgrade and maintenance, and the time was uncertain.

Rubbing his brows, Qin Nuan released his mental power in a small area, investigating the places he passed by...

Although there are several warehouses on the left, not many of them are actually filled with things.

After walking around the left side, I saw that there was still early, so I decided to explore the warehouse on the right side as well.

Scanning the first two warehouses, like the ones on the left, they were all neatly stacked with wooden boxes.

When Qin Nuan arrived at the third warehouse, she found that the door was wide open and several people were carrying boxes inside.

Glancing over from the corner of my eye, I saw two strong men carrying a box walking very slowly. The short old man supervising them was also shouting, "Be careful. If you stumble or fall, don't blame me for being rude."

Qin Nuan didn't notice anything unusual, so she withdrew her gaze and continued walking forward pretending to be a tenant.

Bang~ Bang~

Before I had completely walked through the warehouse, I heard the sound of something heavy falling behind me.

I stopped and looked back, and saw a box lying on the ground.

One side of the box was broken, and the contents inside were vague and difficult to see clearly.

But Qin Nuan, who had released his spiritual power, saw clearly that there were actually three jars in the box, one of which had a skull painted on it.

Chemical weapons?

Instantly, these four words appeared in Qin Nuan's mind and could not be wiped away for a long time.

"What? What?"

"Why don't you carry it in quickly or wait for the money to be deducted?"

The short old man looked at the two people who were in a panic with a gloomy face and shouted at them without any courtesy.

Qin Nuan squinted her eyes and glanced at the warehouse, then looked at the ship that was still unloading goods, then turned around and continued walking...

After turning the right side, Qin Nuan did not leave immediately, but came to the warehouse rental office.

"Hello, comrade. I would like to ask if there are any vacant warehouses at our dock?"

Qin Nuan walked into the rental office and saw a middle-aged man tidying up the items on the table, so she quickly asked.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man stopped what he was doing, looked up at Qin Nuan, and after a pause, he responded, "Yes, there are three on the left and one on the right. They are all different sizes. What size would you like to rent, young comrade?"

"It should be as big as a yard. If not, a smaller one will do. But can you let me take a look at the warehouse first?" Qin Nuan said after a moment of hesitation.

The middle-aged man thought for a moment, picked up a booklet from the table and flipped through it, then looked at Qin Nuan and said with a smile: "Comrade, I just took a look, and the largest of these four warehouses is only as big as two rooms. But two of the warehouses are next to each other. If it's okay, we can negotiate the price."

Qin Nuan already knew the warehouse this person was talking about, but in order to show her embarrassment, Qin Nuan frowned and asked again: "Is there no bigger one?"

Seeing the man shaking his head, Qin Nuan asked again: "Is there a warehouse that will be vacant in three days?"
